Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Objectively speaking, the three major families swarmed into the snow-capped mountains with large groups of people. The shaking noise would scare away any animal. If you simply went hunting in the mountains, you would basically be left alone.

Therefore, many times, in order to create a show effect, some people must be arranged to find some live animals in advance, deliberately go around the way of the group of people, and then secretly let them run away, deliberately being found by the group of stalkers, otherwise there will be no harvest. Alright~

This is what is called - "If you can't catch fish, you can go to the market to buy it, there is no shame."

Shen Muke has no interest in this kind of activity. His whole body is tense now. He always has a hunch that the Great Elder will probably arrange for him in this holy hunt.

Instead of following the large army, he chose to leave the team quietly and found a secluded corner by himself, thinking of getting through this situation safely first.

He leaned on a cane and rested quietly under a tree.

……

whoosh-

In the secluded woods, a dangerous sound suddenly sounded. Shen Muke glanced at a flying arrow shooting straight towards his neck with his peripheral vision!

In a flash of lightning, he completed a series of actions of raising his hand, grabbing it, and clenching it almost instantly.

sigh~~

The hard wooden arrow was held tightly in Shen Muke's hand, and the sharp arrow was almost close to his neck.

The tip that was dyed pitch black was obviously soaked in venom. The person who shot the arrow wanted him to die!

Shen Muke sat upright. He did not dare to stand up quickly. Overly exaggerated movements would make the other party find his weaknesses. He just slowly changed his body from sitting to squatting, and then looked around vigilantly.

clap la la la-

In the distance on the left front, some branches slapped each other. It turned out that the opponent was hiding in the tree!

Shen Muke's eyes turned to that place, and he only saw a shadow wrapped in a white robe flashing away.

"A very powerful person, both in movement and thinking, he is very agile. The arrow he shot at me was fast and accurate, which shows that he is a good hunter. If he misses an arrow, he leaves immediately. It shows that he has a clear mind and a clear mind."

Shen Muke stood up, looked at the arrow in his hand, and said to himself: "He came to take my life, but his arrow did not use Origin Stone skills, but poison. If he hadn't and later Hei The Knight [Mace] is a special individual who does not know the Origin Stone skills at all, so he most likely does not want anyone to discover his identity, so he deliberately uses poison that cannot reveal his identity. He is really cautious..."

Shen Muke shook his head and thought to himself: "It seems that I still can't escape. I originally thought that the Great Elder would arrange the layout during the Holy Hunting process, so I left the team. I didn't expect that I left the team but played into his hands. He actually sent someone to come. Just assassinate me."

Shen Muke had no doubts about the origin of that archer. In the entire Xierag, only the Grand Elder wanted to deal with him, so the archer must have been sent by the Grand Elder!

It's just strange. I have watched Kjerag's plot many times. In my impression, Kjerag is not such a master of archery. Where did the great elder find help?

call--

Taking a long breath, Shen Muke rubbed Zuma's legs: "It's better to return to the main force as soon as possible, so maybe the other party won't dare to take action?"

……

Shen Muke followed everyone's footsteps for a while and saw Akto

Si led the soldiers of the Perrochi family and rushed back.

"Mr. Agaritu!" Aktos waved to Shen Muke, "Sir! Have you seen the Saint?"

Lady Saint?

Shen Muke instinctively felt something was wrong, so he quickly replied: "I didn't see the saintly lady. Isn't she with you?"

Aktos ran to Shen Muke. His cheeks were very red, and he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or his anxiety. He said urgently: "We followed the Holy Lady to a dense forest and met a prey. The Saint The lady shot an arrow but failed to knock it down. The beast ran into the woods with the arrow and we chased after it. However, when we caught up with the beast, we found that the saint lady had not followed us. She...we can't find her!"

Aktos still remembered that before he set off, he swore to his chest and promised the head of the Olafur family that he would protect the Holy Lady and never leave her. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen not long after the Holy Hunt started.

Aktos was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly. He wanted to use an ax to chop the injured beast into minced meat, but it was of no use.

"Actors! Calm down! Do you remember what I taught you?" Shen Muke comforted Aktos. He could understand the other party's anxious mood. The missing of the saint was indeed a big deal, but he felt that the saint was a big deal. The probability is nothing.

He still remembered the first time he met the Saint. The Saint not only used her Origin Stone skills to see through his invisibility, but also used a skill that was totally inappropriate for her age to defeat him in two simple moves. Such a Saint, Lin Zhong There is a high probability that some ferocious beasts will not be able to hurt her.

Moreover, in this three-acre land of Kjerag, what can happen to the Holy Lady with the protection of Yeragund?

After thinking for a while, Shen Muke said to Aktos: "Akhtos, take your soldiers to find Mr. Olafur and your father. They have more people and it is easier to find them... As for me, I I still have some tricks up my sleeve, so I’ll go ahead and look for you first. If I’m lucky, I might be able to meet up with the Holy Lady.”

"Okay, sir, I'll leave it to you!" Aktos led the people towards the direction of the large army, leaving Shen Muke to stay where he was.

whoosh-

In the dense forest, another flying arrow shot straight at Shen Muke's neck.

Snapped!Click.

Shen Muke raised his cane, swung it down suddenly towards the flying feather, and struck the arrow into two sections.

"Bastard! Are you coming again now?!" The saintly lady went missing, and Shen Muke was also very confused at this time. At this time, the archer came to tease him again, and undoubtedly hit the muzzle of his gun.

"Then let me find you out and see what your purpose is!"

Shen Muke held the cane in his hand and held the bow and arrow in his other hand. He was not very good at archery, but having more weapons in his hand would give him more confidence, right?

The other party seemed to know that Shen Muke had used the real fire, so he quickly retreated as before, unable to succeed in one attack.

In the dense forest, the two started a fierce chase. Shen Muke was furious at this time, and he only wanted to catch the archer. However, the archer did not seem to be as panicked as he imagined. He turned left and right, seemingly facing Lin. The environment in the middle was quite familiar. Shen Muke's pace was obviously much faster than his, but he just couldn't catch up, and the distance between the two never narrowed.

Finally, the two of them ended up in an open space. The other side turned around and shot another arrow, then jumped up to the treetop and quickly disappeared with the help of dense branches.

Shen Muke grabbed the arrow with his hand. When he turned around, he couldn't find the other party. He had lost him!

The opponent's skill was better than Shen Muke imagined. He was tricked. It was impossible for him to catch up with the archer from the beginning. The opponent used this method to lure him here!

So, is there anything here for him to see?

Shen Muke looked around and saw from a distance...that was the Holy Lady? ! !

Shen Muke was shocked. He seemed to see a person lying on the snow in the distance. Looking at the gorgeous clothes and the holy bell that fell aside... that was clearly the Holy Lady!

Shen Muke hurriedly ran to the Holy Lady, only to find a delicate flying arrow stabbed on her abdomen.

"My Lady Saint! My Lady Saint, please be sure nothing happens to you!"

Shen Muke took out a roll of bandages on his body. He didn't prepare any medicine, so he could only stop the bleeding of the saint first. His hands were shaking a little because of nervousness. While thinking about the knowledge he had learned before, he held the saint's hand. hands, hoping to find a pulse—

pat.

The bandage in his hand fell off, and Shen Muke knelt on the ground blankly.

Holy lady, there is no pulse.

There is no pulse, no breathing, neck, arms, all vital signs have disappeared. Holy lady, are you dead?

In the distance, the shouts of a large number of people came from far and near. Mr. Olafur came with three people and horses.

Then, when they arrived at the open space, they saw Shen Muke holding the Holy Lady in his arms, kneeling there blankly.

"Lord Saint!" Seeing this scene, Old Perrochi, the head of the three families, was the most anxious. What he least wanted to see happened.

The old bear took three steps at a time and ran to the Holy Lady's side. He stretched out his rough palm and explored the Holy Lady's neck——

"No?! How could there be no, how could it be!" Old Perrochi was almost in tears. Their family was the most devout believers of Yelagund. At this time, he didn't know whether the saint was alive or dead, and he was already going crazy. Got it!

"Chief Perrochi, stop looking for me.

The Holy Lady has returned to the arms of Yelagund..." Shen Muke looked at the Holy Lady and murmured.

"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense!!" Old Perrochi was furious. He stretched out his arm, grabbed Shen Muke's collar, and lifted Shen Muke up: "What do you know? The Saintess has greatness. Blessed by Yeragond! She will not die in the Holy Hunting Ceremony!"

"Old Bear! Stop it. Even if you do this, the Holy Lady will not open her eyes..." Patriarch Brantao walked aside. He originally did not participate in the Holy Hunt because of his old age. He learned that the Holy Lady was missing. After hearing the news, regardless of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he led the people into the forest.At this time, when he saw the Holy Lady falling to the ground, no one present could know his mood, because the Holy Lady had another identity. She was once a member of the Brantao family, and she was the daughter of old Brantao.

Old Brantao is over 70 years old this year, but he never expected that his daughter would walk ahead of him.

"Old Squirrel, you..." Patriarch Perrochi put down Shen Muke. He could not say anything at this time and could only watch silently as Patriarch Browntao arranged his daughter's body neatly so that the saint would not be in the crowd. I lost my manners in front of me. ()

Old Perrochi turned back and shook his head at the three families, indicating that the saint had returned to the arms of Yeragonde.

Everyone accepted the bad news in confusion at first, and then sobbing began to appear in the crowd, which turned into hundreds of people wailing loudly. The sound resounded throughout the snowy mountains. The Kjerag people have lived in the snowland for generations. Everyone knows the Holy Lady. This Saint is already 50 years old and has been here for decades. Many people here grew up under the Holy Lady. At this time, this kind and benevolent Saint has left. They are.

Old Perrochi picked up the saint. Although he was equally sad, he knew that this was not the time to cry. The saint was shot by a bow and arrow. They wanted to find out the murderer... and now, it was time to take the saint back. .

"Get Agaritu!" Old Brantao ordered, and the Brantao family's soldiers held ropes to control Shen Muke.

"Old squirrel! Are you crazy? What does this have to do with Agaritu?!"

"I don't know if he has anything to do with the death of the Holy Lady, but I know that he was the first to discover the Holy Lady. At this point, he cannot escape suspicion!"

"This…"

Olafur came over and stopped Chief Brantao: "Chief Brantao, nothing has been decided yet. Agaritu is not a sinner yet, so the rope can be waived."

He ordered his subordinates to take custody of the lost Shen Muke. Although no ropes were used, the "suspect" should always be controlled under his nose.

Olafur patted old Perrochi on the shoulder. "Let's go back and take Lady Saint with us. Everything will be decided by Manzhuyuan and the three councils."

Everyone followed the heads of the three families. When they came, they had hoped to bring back the best prey to offer to Yeragond, but unexpectedly, they did not find any prey, but sent their saint daughter back to Yeragond. The embrace of virtue…

Today, no one can sleep peacefully in Kjerag.

Chapter 24 Conspiracy

The Holy Lady returned to Yeragond's arms.

The news quickly spread throughout Kjerag. Many people went on strike on the streets and cried bitterly. Some people also ran to the square hoping to know how the Holy Lady died.

Then someone spread the news that the Holy Lady was killed with an arrow, so people became angry and hoped that Manzhuyuan and the three councils would find the murderer as soon as possible.

In Manzhu Courtyard, a meeting of the three tribes was taking place.

The saint's body was parked at the back of the hall. She looked very peaceful, as if she was just asleep.

In the hall, the great elder sat at the head, and beside him were the heads of the three major families. Shen Muke also sat beside him, but there were two guards from the Holy Mountain Army on both sides of him.

He became a suspect, but Shen Muke was not very afraid, because he didn't do anything he didn't do, and no one could accuse him unjustly, right?

"Great Elder..." A servant held the arrow that killed the Holy Lady in his hand and whispered a few words into the Great Elder's ear.

"Take Agaritu down first, let's discuss something."

The two Holy Mountain soldiers led Shen Muke out of the hall.

The cause of the saint's death has been found out. It was this arrow that penetrated the saint's abdomen. The arrow was also coated with poison.

The great elder showed the arrow. This arrow was very delicate and made entirely of metal. The feathers of the arrow were also engraved with horse-shaped chess pieces.

"These are the arrows produced by Casimir, and the murderer is Agaritu?!" Old Perrochi exclaimed.

"Don't make any judgments, Chief Perrochi. Ever since the caravan was established, I don't know how many Casimir's products have poured into Kjerag. For several consecutive years, I don't know how many people in the snow have bought Agaritu's products." , it would be too hasty to conclude that he is the murderer based on just one arrow." Mr. Olafur said.

The Great Elder nodded and said: "I think so too, so everything should be investigated carefully."

"But we don't have time." Old Bronta has recovered from the pain of losing his daughter and has turned back into the wise and shrewd old squirrel: "The square is already full of people, and they all want to know who killed him. Holy girl, if we can’t find the murderer as soon as possible, the Xierag people will not agree.”

What Chief Brantao said is very reasonable. Different from the Snow Mountain Incident in the original plot, this time it is real.

The saint has been murdered and the Snow Mountain Ceremony has been suspended. Now people are most concerned about finding the murderer. What kind of ceremony is there? The saint has been murdered. How can there be any ceremony?

"But, we can't find any clues..." Old Perrochi sat dejectedly on the chair, "In the entire Kjerag, there are countless people who know how to make poison, and there are also countless people who have bought Agaritu arrows. We There are too few clues.”

"What did Agaritu say? Have you asked him?"

Olafur nodded and replied: "I have asked him on the road. According to him, he didn't know any clues at all. As soon as the holy hunt started, he fell behind, so he stayed alone for a while... Later he met and came back Aktos was looking for the Holy Lady, so he asked Aktos to find us, while he went forward alone to help find the Holy Lady... Judging from the results, he did find the Holy Lady. Unfortunately, after he found the Holy Lady, When I was young, the Holy Lady had already..."

"Why did he let Aktos come to us? Instead of going to the Saint with him?" Patriarch Brantao asked.

"Oh, you are stupid, old squirrel. How many people does that boy of mine have? Agaritu asked him to come to us. Of course he is here to find people."

"But why didn't Agaritu follow Aktos? He also knew that he was short of manpower, but why did he continue to move forward alone?" the great elder asked.

"This…"

"Bring Mr. Agaritu in and let's ask him some questions." Olafur ordered.

Shen Muke was brought in, and then he saw the arrow engraved with a horse-shaped chess piece.

His heart skipped a beat.

"Agaritu, you said you fell behind at the beginning of the Holy Hunt. Why did you leave the team?"

"Because I walked slowly, I fell behind." Shen Muke explained. He was still holding the cane made in [-]. With the cane as a cover, he still looked like the meek clerk.

"Then, after you met Aktos, why did you ask him to come to the heads of the three families?"

"Actors is very anxious. A person who is anxious cannot do a good job in search. In addition, he is short of manpower...so I asked him to find a large team of people, hoping to speed up the search progress."

"Then, why didn't you follow him? Why did you continue to move forward?" the great elder asked.

"This..." Shen Muke glanced at the great elder. The reason why he continued to move forward was not just to find the saint, but because the archer shot an arrow at him. He found the saint by chasing the archer. .

After thinking for a while, he took out the exquisite arrow he held in his hand and explained to the Great Elder and others how he encountered the assassin.

"This assassin not only wants to kill the saint, but also wants to kill you?" Old Perrochi asked in surprise.
